Work-life integration

Abstract

Work is an integral part of life. Human adaptation implies acquisition of the means to sustain life. But there is more to life than work: there is personal life, family life, and life within one's social network and culture too. From a systems psychology perspective, all domains of life are interrelated, naturally, but without an integrated life plan the interrelationships defining our system will gravitate toward chaos, fragmentation, and conflict. In human systems order and harmony are a byproduct of intelligence.
